There was a day when you needed an army of computer scientists to build a compute cluster that performed well on applications with a lot of fine grained parallel processing. Not any more, NetworkDirect and iWARP provide Windows and a standard Ethernet fabric with application run times comparable to proprietary OSes and proprietary clustering fabrics while maintaining the ease of use expected from Microsoft and Ethernet. See how iWARP transforms Ethernet into a high performance clustering fabric.

I haven’t really said much about Windows HPC server 2008, which we launched recently as the successor to Compute Cluster Server. But there are some useful webcasts lined up , they’re early in the morning Redmond time, which puts them at then end of working day for those of us in Europe.

HPC Webcast Series: High Performance Computing for the Masses with Intel

November 4, 2008, 9:00am PDT

High Performance Computing has its roots in non-commercial, academic, national lab and governmental environments where very large, compute-intensive workloads and applications are executed. According to recent data from IDC HPC, economically-attractive clusters have become the common denominator across most HPC deployments. In parallel, the continuing maturation of HPC ISV commercial business software, the refinement of operating system & cluster software, and the consistent availability of more computing power at lower cost have opened up the inherent performance advantages of HPC clusters to a much wider community of users. Please join Intel for an overview of the current HPC marketplace and the potential alternatives of utilizing High Performance Computing clusters for both increased productivity and competitive advantage.
